Using addSymbol inside a tab\'s registerpanel

[peka]

Hi all,

anybody knows if addSymbol can be used to add a reference inside a tab's registerpanel? If it is, what's the syntax?

Using addSymbol inside the registerpanel (initialize) adds the reference to the panel instead the tab registercard, where the function was called from. So the reference (in this case a button) is visible, independet which registerpanel is selected.

To use addSymbol in register panel tabs, you need to pass myPanelName() to the parameter panelName, instead of a just an empty string there. That is described in the WinCC OA help, in the description of the addSymbol() parameters.

I haven't tested it yet, but according to help you also have to use myModuleName
"In order to add an object in a tab, the both parameters have to be replaced by the functions myModuleName() and myPanelName(). If an empty string "" is used instead of myPanelName(), so the tab is used as this panel."

I already make it in initialise script of tab:
addSymbol(myModuleName(),myPanelName(),"objects/test.pnl","test",makeDynString(),50,50,0,1,1);

It works in the following ways:

1) when you have your script inside the panel inside the tab, use addSymbol(myModuleName(), "", ...); // panel name as empty string
2) when you have your script outside of the tab, use addSymbol(TAB1.panelAt(0), ...); // insert on panel at tab index 0

Thanks for your response
It's still not working !!!
i tried both methods inside and outside the Tab

addSymbol(myModuleName(),"","objects/test.pnl","test",makeDynString(""),50,50,0,1,1); inside tab
addSymbol(myModuleName(), TAB1.panelAt(0),"objects/test.pnl","test",makeDynString(""),50,50,0,1,1); outside tab

the object is added but in the panel not in the Tab ??

I tested it with the attached panels. open the addRefToTab.pnl
Tested with 3.16 P2 https://www.winccoa.com/fileadmin/image ... 181026.zip
